Thanks, Camm. I'm content to get by without quicklisp working on GCL, but like you, I'd be happy to see that fixed. If the quicklisp folks don't know about your recent relevant improvements, perhaps it would be good to inform them in case they want to take advantage of your willingness to work with them to get quicklisp working on GCL. (But I'll stay out of this since I know nothing about quicklisp or the issues involved.)

OK, all of these ansi issues are fixed in the master branch and can in principle be backported. However, when loading quicklisp into a build of this branch, the load goes fine, but then I get: ============================================================================= GCL (GNU Common Lisp) 2.7.0 ANSI Nov 1 2013 23:35:51 Source License: LGPL(gcl,gmp,pargcl), GPL(unexec,bfd,xgcl) Binary License: GPL due to GPL'ed components: (XGCL READLINE UNEXEC) Modifications of this banner must retain notice of a compatible license Dedicated to the memory of W.

COMMON-LISP-USER>> ============================================================================= There appears to be some internal support quicklisp has not yet provided for GCL, so I guess it does not make sense to pursue this further at this point. I'm more than happy of course to work with the quicklisp people should they wish to extend support to GCL.
